Can I still get free or low-cost services through the Title X program at Planned Parenthood?

The Trump administration is forcing Planned Parenthood and other providers out of the national program for birth control and reproductive health care — Title X. With an unethical gag rule, the administration is bullying providers into withholding abortion information from their patients. Title X is the nation’s only program dedicated to helping people get affordable birth control and reproductive health care. It’s almost 50 years old and Planned Parenthood has played a key role from the beginning.

Title X is designed to help people who struggle to make ends meet get birth control, STD testing, cancer screenings, and other care they couldn't afford otherwise. It’s an important safety net for people who would be forced to go without health care. This includes already-marginalized communities — LGBTQ communities, people of color, and people with low incomes — who historically face barriers to care and are less likely to have health insurance. The majority of patients in the Title X program identify as Black, Hispanic, or Latinx.
